Now on to other things.

I went with Remy's first grade class to a local pumpkin farm.

They had to wear their class shirts, of which color Remy's was pink.Yep, his whole class had to wear pink.Azalea pink.and I happen to think this color looks great on Remy,so I took a million photos because it's rare to see him in pink.

Here he is waiting for the bus with his class, joking around.He's the one in the shorts.

And I followed the bus in my car...I've helped chaperon ON the bus before, and let me tell you, it's a little scary.The free-flying, manic energy of around 100 six and seven-year-olds is a wild thing to behold.so I was happy to view it from my own car.And of course, I can see Remy sitting in the back of the bus.

That's him. Can you tell he is making farting noises with his armpit?Yep, he is.I'm so proud.I have never been able to do it myself.I'm slightly envious.

Now on to the views that I observed on this trip:

Please tell me this is a female goat who needs to be milked...

Because otherwise this goat has something else going on...and it scares me.

Have you ever heard of a goat bridge?Let me show you:

See that goat on the top right?Now here's the same goat looking down at me.

What the hell? I never knew goats liked being up high! That is just bizarre! And shame on that teacher for choosing that color for both the boys and girls to wear! LOL! But you're right, the pink hue looks great with Remy's coloring! But Remy? That is the ugliest excuse for a pumpkin I've ever seen!

I love Remy's class shirts. I'm surprised that the color was chosen - but I like it. What does Remy think of it?

Last year in Madalyn's class - the shirt color was royal blue. And all the names of the kids were written on it. In BLACK. You can't read a thing. I don't know who chose - but I don't know what they might have been thinking either.

Did you bring that pumpkin home? Maybe you can spray paint it orange? :-)

Ive never heard of a goat bridge. Interesting.If you could find a big pumpkin in that color, it would be pretty cool. You could carve it and in the dark, possibly all you would see is the glowing face.

That pumpkin would make an awesomely scary Jackolantern. Sadly, we don't have pumpkin patches up here. We always have to go to the grocery or garden center to get a pumpkin from the display this time of year. It's a shame our kids don't get this experience, as it looks really fun.

I lived in the DFW area for 39 years. And I miss it so very very much! Comanche is 150 miles southwest of the metroplex. 100 miles east of Abilene, 100 west of Waco/Temple. 100 miles north west of Austin and 150 miles north of San Antonio. So another words: We are in the middle of nowhere! LOL
